What is rotated in mental rotation?

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 1984
Two hypotheses regarding mental rotation were contrasted. If subjects rotate each stimulus image to the upright (the image rotation hypothesis), then response time should depend solely on the extent of angular deviation from the upright. But if subjects rotate their frame of reference to match that of the disoriented stimulus (the frame rotation ...

Developmental differences in mental rotation

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1979
Abstract A reaction time paradigm was used to investigate developmental differences in ability to rotate and compare imaginal representations. Third grade, fifth grade, and college students (ages 9, 11, and 20 years, respectively) were required to determine whether a letter of the alphabet was presented in its backward or normal position.

Mental rotation of tactile stimuli

Cognitive Brain Research, 2002
When subjects decide whether two visual stimuli presented in various orientations are identical or mirror-images, reaction time increases with the angular disparity between the stimuli. The interpretation of this well-known observation is that subjects mentally rotate images of the stimuli until they are in congruence, in order to solve the task.

Deconstructing mental rotation.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2014
A random walk model of the classical mental rotation task is explored in two experiments. By assuming that a mental rotation is repeated until sufficient evidence for a match/mismatch is obtained, the model accounts for the approximately linearly increasing reaction times (RTs) on positive trials, flat RTs on negative trials, false alarms and miss ...

Mental Rotation and Age Reconsidered

Journal of Gerontology, 1981
Research has established that subjects required to identify tilted patterns do so by first rotating them mentally into an upright position. Gaylord and Marsh (1975) found that the rate of mental rotation of elderly subjects was 84% slower than young subjects.

Mentale Rotation und Rotationsnacheffekt: Nachweis des kontinuierlichen Bewegungscharakters mentaler Rotation

1997
Prasentiert man Probanden Buchstaben in unterschiedlichen Orientierungen und last sie entscheiden, ob es sich unabhangig von der Orientierung um einen normalen oder einen spiegelbildlichen Buchstaben handelt, so dauert diese Entscheidung umso langer, je mehr der Buchstabe von seiner aufrechten Position abweicht (Cooper & Shepard, 1973). Aufgrund dieses

Practising mental rotation using interactive Desktop Mental Rotation Trainer (iDeMRT)

British Journal of Educational Technology, 2009
Abstract An experimental study involving 30 undergraduates (mean age = 20.5 years) in mental rotation (MR) training was conducted in an interactive Desktop Mental Rotation Trainer (iDeMRT). Stratified random sampling assigned students into one experimental group and one control group.

Gender Differences in Mental Rotation

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1994
Two experiments were carried out to compare the performance of male and female students at different educational levels on tasks that required mental rotation. Exp. 1 also compared their performance on an overt, male-typed version and a disguised, female-typed version of the same task.

Mental rotation by the blind: Does mental rotation depend on visual imagery?

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1976
Congentially blind adventitiously blind, and blindfolded sighted adults made same-different judgments of pairs of tactile forms. Two forms were presented in the same orientation, or one form differed from the other by a clockwise rotation of 30 degrees, 60 degrees, 120 degrees, or 150 degrees.
